Well, Ferguson, MO is on fire again last night from the protesters (read: angry entitlement-types who are lawlessly looting and destroying) because they decided that they were going to make the town pay because they don’t believe in justice – only vengeance. Even though this guy:

angrily charged and beat on this cop, tried to get his sidearm, called him a pu**y according to eyewitness reports:

and got himself shot in what the grand jury noted was clear self defense. My condolences to the Brown family for their loss, but when a police officer gives an order, you obey it. It comes from being a responsible citizen:

Not these guys, BTW. Oh, and someone tell that guy to pull his pants up. He looks like a half-dressed clown.

Now these people feel like it’s their right to commit arson and burn public and private property:

Well, except for this shop owner who hired a few guns to protect his property. I guess the so-called “protesters” will be protesting somewhere else (Thank GOD for the Second Amendment):

While this guy, basically lectures us about how we are a nation of laws, yet abrogates the law through executive order and grants amnesty to five million people in the country illegally – that is, in contrary to the laws of the United States:

I guess Christmas in Ferguson just isn’t what it used to be, eh? Santa, you might want to fly around, since there is a no-fly zone right now.

It seems to me that the radical Islamic anger is very much like the same kind of anger as being demonstrated in Ferguson, MO.

We’ve been watching copious amounts of violence in the last few weeks, between Hamas and Israel fighting things out and the growing levels of violence in Ferguson. And I don’t know about you but I see a lot of parallels based on the notion of “justified hate”, or “rationalized violence”.

In fact, they’re beginning to look a lot alike, which is kind of scary.

Radical Islamists have been at it for centuries. Ever since Mohammad made the first appeals to begin raiding caravans in 623 because he felt justified in his perception of Meccan oppression of early Muslims, Muslims have always used violence as a means to an end – first to end oppression, then as a means of subjugation and conquest (the driver for the Islamic State), Muslims have always referred back to verses like Quran 22:29 and 22:39-40 that permit oppressed Muslims to fight if they are oppressed.

Where I take issue is how very easily that Muslims claim “oppression” and justify their violence. It’s pretty much become a natural reaction for them – claim oppression, cite the Quran, throw a brick, bomb a plane. And then when the oppressor becomes the oppressed, the roles reverse and the cycle continues.

Sound familiar?

Michael Brown raided a convenience store to steal some cigarillos and got physical with the clerk, despite his reported overall gentle nature. Darren Wilson was, no-doubt unaware that Brown had robbed a liquor store, but I can see how someone who just committed a violent crime would be hostile towards police. As the testimony alludes, Brown attacks the cop, pushes him into the cruiser, they both fight after the gun; gun goes off, Brown runs, cop yells “freeze”, he turns on the cop, cop puts him down.

Then the “rationalized violence” ensues because it was a white cop and a black perpetrator. Al Sharpton starts preaching his hate sermons again and riots akin to the LA riots over the beat down of Rodney King ensue, because of the message of how black people are still “oppressed” – or at least the ones protesting certainly feel that way.

But it seems to me that in both of these situations, whether it’s groups like Hamas that feel like they have to launch rockets into Israel, or ISIS beheading Americans or a group of thug punks throwing bricks through storefront windows, they believe their violence is justified, despite what anyone else thinks.

This is disturbing, particularly in Ferguson where they are calling it “Civil Disobedience” – even though there is very little in the line of civility where a Molotov cocktail is involved.

So where am I going with this? Not too sure – perhaps it’s only to draw the similarities to see what can be learned by it. Is it because people are oppressed or they just feel that way? Is it oppression or a deep seeded sense of entitlement that has been preached to them all their lives that says they are entitled to loot businesses or decapitate someone? Am I drawing comparisons that thread into a wider view of the human condition?

What do you think? Post below in the comments. This should be interesting.

To my friends.

I want to take a quick second and congratulate my friend and fellow blogger Lady K on her newest writing gig with OUTSET Magazine. She presently writes for Pocket Full of Liberty and various other places, commenting on culture, politics, anti-feminism, and of course, coffee (very important here at TRC). You can follow her on Twitter.

Not that we don’t continually hear stuff about racism day in, day out, but now, it seems like it’s no longer a human thing – now our furry four-legged friends are now showing their racist tendencies and biting non-whites (the article says “latinos” and “african-americans”, but these kinds of articles generally mean “non-white”).

LA is no stranger to racism – for it was the cops who beat Rodney King to a pulp which triggered the riots (not that the beating wasn’t just some excuse for massive rioting and looting).

Maybe with the crime rates in LA, with 80% being minority, it would seem that the dogs, being color-blind, will chase down a bad guy, not whimper because the crook is a white guy or not.

Now, if I were a bad guy, I’d rather get bit by a dog than pepper-sprayed, hit with a TASER, or shot. And I have worked with police dogs before – they go on instinct and training, not because they decide they prefer dark-meat.

It’s like I keep saying – until we stop with the extreme PC and sensitivity and start moving beyond racism, we’ll never solve the problem. But idiots like the ones in this article simply cry wolf (no pun intended), over so-called “racism”.

The OWS drones are still at it, unfortunately. They continue to carry on the belief that they represent the people, the 99%. And the Main Stream Media continuously ignores the fact that they are doing what they blamed the Tea Party from doing. The MSM (except for FoxNews) continuously painted the Tea Party as a bunch of racist hatemongers, rioting and protesting with hate rhetoric. Yet, we continue to see over and over that the OWS crowd is doing the things that they attempt to apply to the Tea Party and guess what, the MSM glosses over it.

The one good thing of all of this is that OWS, who probably worships Obama as the High Pontiff of Entitlement, will probably be one of the lib-crats greatest liabilities. I can’t waif for November 2012.

The Tea Party actually loves the police. OWS, on the other hand, has a different view. Love the Polaroid, by the way.

Oakland Blockade – I guess these chaps didn’t make the cut for the Oakland Raiders front line, so they’re doing this now.

The opposite of Capitalism, folks, is socialism. So, if these people hate capitalism, what does that make them?

And where there is socialism, communism is soon to follow. Perhaps the lib-crats should be the “red” and the GOP goes “blue”, might be more fitting that way.

Wage slavery indeed – it’s called a paycheck you idiots, provided for hard work and contribution, something commies know very little about.

War, racism, and poverty – because Communism worked so very well in the USSR, right?

And let’s not leave out the union hacks putting in their 2¢…

Jimmy Hoffa would be so proud, right?

Teaching kids to be good little socialists – an atrocity in it’s own right; these kids have no clue what this is about – not much different than the mindless drones holding their hands. But aren’t they so cute??

Cop-hating Rapper Boots Riley adding more “class” to this “act” with his hit, “5 Million Ways to Kill a CEO”. Of course, it looks like to me Riley is taking a gander at the girl’s backside – another rapper favorite pastime. (Sir Mix-a-Lot would be proud),
